You've never heard of serotonin? dopamine? adrosterone? estrogen? epinephrine? endorphins? any number of other brain chemicals? It's not just electrical impulses, and even then, its not just on or off. Pinch yourself. Hurts, no? Pinch harder. Hurts more? Thought so.
Now I'm not one to respond to trollers often (not you, the parent post), but $180b is a hell of a lot of gasoline that Bush lied and said would be cheaper. $2.20/gal in Williamsport, PA.
OK, and the first time that a hurricane hits and the government says "GET ON THE INTERSTATE AND GET THE FUCK OUT HAPPENS", I'll laugh at you because your car is incapable of going faster than the hurricane.
There's reasons your speedometer goes to 150, even on public roads, you just may never use them.
It's more like he bought the lot next to the house you had for sale, and built a better one. Nothing need be said about the design of the house or anything, just that it's a house. And his is better.
The house-buyers are happy, they now have a choice, your crap job, or the really nice estate next door.
These fucks patented a goddamn FM TRANSMITTER that plugs into an iPod. My CD player had one years ago. Obvious patent. It's just blocking competition, and the owners of the patent should be shot.
Also, in addition to HunterX11's comment, Wikipedia articles almost always have relevant links and sources listed. It's meant more as a starting point for research - it gives you a rather verbose summary of the information, and then points you in the right direction for more involved, serious research.
If you use it correctly, you won't find a better encyclopedia anywhere.
Since I can't think of anything really insightful to say, I'll just say thanks.
Thanks to Yahoo, for supporting the Wikimedia Foundation, and thanks to the Wikimedia folks and all of their contributors for their great contributions to what I hope will become (and is already on its way) one of the world's best disseminators of human knowledge. It's meant to be free, at least as in speech, but they're pulling it off as in beer, too.
Much kudos to them - One day when I'm not a poor college student, I'll help out. They've certianly made themselves worthy.
I'm sorry, but if I'm 3 days away from death, I'll fuckin' try anything that I can goddamn find.
If I had the chance to either A. die, or B. take a radically new therapy that WILL cure my ailment but whose side effects are not known, I'm taking choice B. If the chemo drugs that cured my cancer caused my kidneys to fail, I'd rather be going to dialysis three times a week than be dead.
"Dangerous" is subjective. You might find rolling a car dangerous, I'd find it a thrill.
In PA, they use your ssn for ID purposes. As long as you have the name right, the address doesn't matter. We also file biweekly. Checks are mailed, or direct deposited to any account.
Nothing helps when they DELIVER it to the wrong place.
A couple years back I watched a PC i had built wander its way from my FedEx hub, to a town where it should have gone, to California (2300 miles off target), and delivered. Lost for good. Every time I called FedEx, the package wasnt where it should have been. Oops.
Yeah, I know it's invoking Godwin's Law, but not as a flame or troll. It's the truth. Last time one of the big IT players made a National ID system, it was for Hitler.
USA Package: Fill out address, go to Post Office, stamp, pay, done.

Not really. Hit your funny bone. Now, hit it harder.
You've hit the same nerve bundle, affecting the same number of nerves, but it hurt more.
Unless you wanna say your brain is one giant DAC.

You wanna show us some links?

Wrong, bucko.

Fear?
I'd much rather be smashing daisies than pushing them up.
Sheesh, people and their morbid fear of life...
(note, that if you were joking, I haven't had my coffee and nicotine yet, and that's not a good thing.)
Running?
They wouldn't be doing much of that with a bad heart, would they?

Depends on the state, my friend.

Sounds pretty easy to me!
Shit, I better go turn myself in, I just replaced my spark plugs. On my own.
How is what they do illegal? The users still have to agree to it, conniving or not.
No, but I did. They went and found where it was delivered to, but never recovered it.

Chlorine is present in pool water as ions, so this thing wont pull it out.
it's air that's dissolved in water (like CO2, N, etc..) so you get more than oxygen out.
Return my tax on Music CD-Rs. That is, unless I can copy these things infinitely onto Music CD-Rs, that I pay a tax for piracy.
Yeah, I know it's invoking Godwin's Law, but not as a flame or troll. It's the truth. Last time one of the big IT players made a National ID system, it was for Hitler.
Yeah, except to Hitler, he seemed pretty adamant about tracking where the Jews came and went.
Are you calling her FAT?!
I sure don't.
